How Often Do You Wash Your Truck?

[muthstryker]

Just a random question, was wondering how often you guys wash your trucks. Only bringing it up because my neighbor was giving me ****. I rarely drive my truck, maybe 3-4 times a week and I always wash it on Sundays before the week in case I drive it, Not only that I vacuum it out religiously. I have 2 claybar kits and a ton of techwax 2.0, Just need to get a buffer so I can go crazy!

How about everyone else?

In the year that the truck has been on the road I have never washed it.
Only seen rain for about 2 min and it was so hot that day that it didn't even puddle

[81ratrodc10]

i wash mine like every 2weeks or so the road i lived on kicks up alot of dust

[muthstryker]

Ya I get alot of dust on my truck as well, need to get a california duster...

[Newtz67]

Don't let your neighbor give you s*** for washing your truck! Tell him to f*** **f! Wash it every day if you want!

I never wash my 77. I use instant detailer to shine the paint after I dust it with a duster. My daily drives I wash 1-3 times a week depending on the weather.

[72freak]

Twice a year unless we are going to a show.

[texasfunk]

I wash min at least once a week, sometimes twice, need a mid week touch up everynow and then, all this west texas dirt :/

[muthstryker]

Well now I dont feel soo crazy washing it once a week!

[WigglesTheHoly]

i need to wash my vehicles once a week thats a good practice and habit to get into. I honestly just wash mine when I can't see out the windshield anymore because of bugs

[Matt Man]

i wash mine about every 2 weeks sometimes 3 mine gets dusty and im so picky over having a clean vehicle. I must have a clean vehicle inside and out.

Hey N2TRUX, what kind of duster are you using? I do not want to scratch my paint. Also, instant detailer? Also interested in that. Thanks..

Once a year, whether it needs it or not, unless I am too busy. My white truck is a toilet for local pigeons. When I get the body work and paint done (if ever), then I will keep a cover on it and wash it once a month, wax it every 3 months, like I do with my car. It will always be a work truck, not a show truck.
I bought many new trucks but could never stand the thought of getting them dirty or banged up, so I have always had a beater truck like this one to actually use as a truck. I want to keep the truck in good mechanical condition and restore the interior real nice, since those things aren't exposed to the elements and will last awhile. At least in AZ the body won't rust away.

I use "The Original California Car Duster" from California Car Cover. I have tried several brands of quick detailer but I end up using Meguiars brand. Of course they have a gazillion different ones, so I use what on sale at Wal-Mart.

[Hubscrub]

not very often now, but i used too

[slugish]

once every 4-6 weeks . Washing does not harm a finish as long as you use gentle wash soap . if you use dish detergent or go thru aotomatic car washes on a regular basis , of course your finish will eventually suffer , unless you wax it about evry 2 or 3 times you wash it.

[flamingbig10]

just depends on how dirty it gets maybe twice a Month, but if its just dusty then a California duster and some mothers spray detail-er

[rjn72]

owned mine 7 1/2 years washed it on purpose 3 times. God washes it the rest of the time.

[C10Silverado79]

Mine gets washed every time it rains.

Haha thats funny, Hell I dont drive mine in the rain! Cali truck and rustfree! Want to keep it that way, the underside looks brandnew..

[bikes&bowties]

every so often i park under an irrigation circle and run the wipers... but usually getting back onto pavement consists of a mud hole ... i figure if i just keep adding mud then there is no need to waste money on soap

[Colesnsty68]

At least once a week!

[jake wells]

once a month water hose and a old cloth then it gets a light coat of liquid wax.

now the inside that's about once a year i pressure wash the engine bay and the underside every year to keep the build up down.
